West Redding Summer Retreat
Steeped in history and natural beauty, the Charles Ives House, around the year 1913, is a masterfully restored eighteen acre West Redding summer retreat where the famed modernist composer lived and created his signature works. Designed and built by Ives himself, this iconic Arts and Crafts estate seamlessly pairs vintage authenticity with ultra luxury modern updates. Inside, original architectural integrity shines. The spectacular great room features a double height wood beamed ceiling, a stunning original paned picture window, and custom staircase balusters subtly crafted to resemble musical staff notes. A country chic chef's kitchen boasts elite appliances, La Cornue, Miele, Bosch, a cozy built in banquette, and a fireplace inset with original vintage tile. The second level primary suite offers panoramic views of the lush, pastoral grounds, a luxurious marble bath, and an expansive walk in closet. Retain your own inspiration in the original music studio or office where Ives composed, complete with untouched original hardwood floors. The extraordinary eighteen acre grounds double as a private resort, featuring a charming one bedroom guest cottage, around the year 1900, a heated Gunite infinity edge pool and spa, a tennis court, and a classic century old timber frame barn with a new foundation and roof. Effortlessly sophisticated, enchantingly rustic, a rare opportunity and an absolute masterpiece of living history.
